Mabrey showdown sparks title chase at Tempo home

How to – On Thursday, June 25, 2026, Marina Mabrey’s Toronto Tempo host the Los Angeles Sparks at 7 p.m. ET at the Coca-Cola Coliseum. The game airs on Amazon Prime Video and Spectrum SportsNet, with key injury absences on both rosters shaping what could be a tight mat
Toronto doesn’t usually wait for permission to be dangerous. On Thursday, June 25, 2026, it’s already showing up with Marina Mabrey leading the charge—at home, at 7 p.m. ET, and with the kind of scoring streak that turns a night into a referendum.
Mabrey comes in after scoring 23 points in a 94-87 loss to the Dream, and that same tempo now carries the Toronto Tempo (8-9) into a meeting with the Los Angeles Sparks (8-8). The matchup tips from the Coca-Cola Coliseum. Viewers can watch on Amazon Prime Video and Spectrum SportsNet.
If you’re heading to the arena, tickets are available on StubHub.
The injury list is where the game starts to feel different. For the Tempo, Kiki Rice is out (Ankle) and Brittney Sykes is out (Foot). For the Sparks, Kelsey Plum is out (Lower Leg) and Cameron Brink is out (Ankle). With those absences in play, every rotation—and every open look—can swing momentum fast.
There’s also a scoreboard argument hiding in the numbers. The Tempo score only 1.9 fewer points per game (89.4) than the Sparks allow (91.3). Los Angeles averages only 3.4 fewer points per game (88.4) than Toronto allows its opponents to score (91.8). In other words: this isn’t set up as a mismatch. It’s set up as a grind.
For Toronto, Mabrey’s output is the backbone—19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. She shoots 44.3% from the floor and 39.0% from beyond the arc, with 3.2 made treys per contest, second in the WNBA.
Nneka Ogwumike carries another layer for the Tempo. She averages 15.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest, shooting 51.7% from the field and 42.0% from beyond the arc, eighth in the WNBA, with 1.4 made 3-pointers per contest.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, arrives with its own star gravity and its own defensive challenge—because even with injuries trimming the roster, the Sparks have still been part of the same narrow margin story: what they allow lines up closely with what the Tempo score.
That’s the key tension tonight. When two teams sit within striking distance on offense and defense, missing players don’t just subtract—they force different answers. Mabrey’s scoring and Ogwumike’s all-around production will be tested immediately.

7 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime? So is it like blacked out or not lol
Injuries already starting on both sides, but they say it’s still a “grind”?? That basically means neither team can score right. Also who even is Kiki Rice, never heard of her.
I think Cameron Brink being out means Sparks win by default? Like people always say “next woman up” and then it turns into a blowout. But idk, this article was kinda all numbers so I got lost.
Mabrey 23 points in a loss and they’re acting like it’s a “title chase”?? Sounds like clickbait. Plus StubHub tickets on a home game feels wild, shouldnt they be sold out already if it’s that important. Anyway I’m just here for the streaming on Spectrum SportsNet but half the time those listings are wrong.
